Beds were very comfy, rooms super clean, very secure, the little bar downstairs is super fun and would be great for solo travellers. Breakfast was decent, expected for an English breakfast.

Great location,Wonderful and helpful folks at reception along with clean rooms and comfy beds!The bar is also very lively and it was a really nice experience to stay at Wombat's London!

The facilities are great. I like the use of the keycards, it made me feel a bit safe. The kitchen was also really nice- basic necessities were all there. There's a Sainsbury's local about 5 mins walk from the hostel, so that was good too. The staff is nice and helpful as well. The bathroom & toilet were always clean.
And most importantly, I really loved the shower in my room (stayed in a room for 6)! The pressure, the right mix of hot & cold, lol... I mean, knowing you'll have a nice shower is always a plus.

Quite nice and worm place in cold and costly London.

Very very clean, safe neighbourhood, helpful staff, nice social areas I know it seems a bit pricey but honestly I’m so glad I went with this one instead of the cheaper ones elsewhere in the city. You definitely get what you pay for and I would totally stay here again.

I like that everything was user friendly. I felt safe and liked that we had our own private lockers.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

“Another noisy and overpriced property! ”

Just another Overpriced London location. £120 for a private room or £30 for a dorm (In a hostel!!) Senselessly expensive and seems difficult to fathom why one would want to spend more than 1 night here for the cost a 5 star hotel in most other countries.
I took a private room but aside from the obvious door separating it, it was located downstairs below the busy dorm rooms above where the typical and often inconsiderate habitual hostel stayers made no secret of their existence by stomping on the timber floors and creating noise until all hours (with no apparent respect for others).
For this reason I was left tired and disappointed by my stay.

It was clean neat and functional. Great downstairs bar area and 5 min stroll to Tower Bridge and 30min walk to Southbank. Almost perfect location. Staff at desk very helpful and polite.

Very close to the regions of indian&pakistan&black immigrants. I am not an racist but my experience is not so good with them, always. Moreover, i have also been cheated by a pakistan salesman in a gift store during my very short stays in london. Sorry for this negative impression.

The room is clean, staffs are friendly and helpful. Moreover, each roommate are just friendly and open minded. It was really a great experience here.

The pillow was flat had to fold it over to use it, bed wasn’t the most comfy but it was what I expected for the price I paid. Girls in my room where up about 6.30/7am so I didn’t get a great sleep!

The reception area was big and clean and staff were helpful. Handy to have luggage storage room as my flight was in the evening. I didn’t use any of the facilities in the hostel and only used the bedroom. Bed was ok it’s what I expected and bathroom was clean with plenty of space to shower and get dressed.
